Bumblebee Jasper Teardrop Pendant with Scallop Overlay and Rope Bezel by Gilbert Platero, Navajo

Gilbert Platero, a Navajo silversmith, set a large teardrop-shaped bumblebee jasper stone in a twisted rope bezel on this sterling silver pendant with scallop-stamped overlay, silver drops, and radial stampwork framing. Bumblebee jasper is an aragonite and sulfur mineral from West Java, Indonesia, distinguished by vivid yellow, orange, black, and grey banding formed by volcanic activity — each stone is geologically unique. Measures approximately 4.0" tall including bail, 2.5" wide at widest, 80 grams. Bale: 8-9mm. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
